Happy 75th Anniversary Wizard of OZ!

While it's been 75 years since MGM introduced the movie, my readers know the story has been around a lot longer than that. This fall will mark 114 years since L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published.

But most folks are more familiar with the movie, and I have to admit it's one of my all time favorites. Since the theme of Annie's Stories is finding the place where your heart finds a home, I thought I'd celebrate with this clip.

The Book in the Background

Around the edges you see the Thomson Family History. It's a handwritten book of genealogy composed in the year 1881 by my husband's ancestor. The book is held at the State Library of Ohio in Columbus, Ohio.
